An excellent compilation of well-made images of science fiction and fantasy heroines, painted by Ron Miller with text by Pamela Sargent.I appreciate the fact that the artist chose such a wide range of characters, from Medieval warrior Jirel of Joiry to Buck Rogers comrade Wilma Deering to Jane (as in Tarzan and). Or from another perspective, from the gigantic beauty Aurora to the microscopic Animula. I liked the inclusion of several obscure but interesting heroines, such as the 1920s astronaut Rhoda Gibbs.Not all of the women depicted by Miller were the way I had always imagined them, of course. I thought his Susan Calvin was too saintly, not businesslike enough. And his Dejah Thoris has (for shame!) a navel that no oviparous Barsoomian ought to have. Still, Miller painted what he saw in the texts, just as we all do.Id love to see a sequel.
